Sweet ending

[jiraf · 8/10 · 28 May 2006]

Yes, I'm a Las Vegas fan, and this episode is one of the best so far. It was just so delicious to watch the ending with a Brooks & Dunn song playing in the background, it touches my heart. The main plot itself was kinda predictable, the subplot makes this worth watching.

Alec Baldwin did a great job playing Ed's old friend from the firm. Marsha Thomason, as usual, is the weak spot among the cast. Vanessa Marcil is just a delight to watch, she's so smokin' hot. Even Molly Sims is a better actor than Marsha. James Lesure, as usual, is fun to watch in this series. James Caan, is okay. He has a pretty good chemistry with Alec though, makes the friendship and history between them believable.

Yeeha! Country week at the Montecito - the cowboys and cowgirls are in town. A good episode, featuring superstar country duo Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn (Brooks & Dunn and an appearance by Alec Baldwin, playing Jack Keller, an old CIA colleague of Ed's, who is now working for Mr Brunson and in charge of installing a new and improved security system for the Montecito.

But this episode might be most notable for seemingly hinting at a relationship between Danny and Sam. The final scenes of the episode - where Brooks and Dunn are playing a soft ballad on acoustic guitar and harmonica in the lounge - where Mary sees Danny and Sam go off together somewhere private are heartbreaking. Clearly, she is in love with Danny still, and it wasn't as though Mary hadn't had a tough enough run this episode before that.

(I'll always maintain that Danny and Mary should've ended up together. Cliched? Yeah, sure. But also fitting. Alas...)
